Making Our Future: Visionary Folklore and Everyday Culture in Appalachia by Emily Hilliard

emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

This made me love West Virginia even more than I already do - definitely an academically-minded text, but with a subject matter that I think can be appreciated by a larger audience. Lots of my favorite things - explorations of foodways, place-making through literature and community building, and visioning for a more hopeful, rurally-rooted future -- maybe I should become a folklorist too (or maybe I already am!).
